Obviously, director-writer Billy Senese didn’t have a ton of money to work with, but The Dead Center wisely eschews gore and special effects in favor of setting a dark, malevolent mood.

The film is in tune with the need to remain lucid and empathetic while in the maw of human extremity.

There’s a lot of excellent atmospherics here that are more unsettling than the actual violence, which in turn is all the more effective for largely being kept just off-screen.

What it has going for it in spades is supremely creepy atmosphere. The hospital virtually becomes a major character in the story itself, its washed-out coloring and neon lights making everyone look like they have a sickly pallor.

The plot seems sillier the more one mulls it over, yet it’s a testament to the film that we’re not preoccupied with questions of probability for the duration of its running time.

What’s crucial is how Senese and cinematographer Andy Duensing film these elements: patiently, attentively, with a feel for space and ambient atmosphere, and a reluctance to offer easy explanations that invites tantalising metaphorical readings, and counts as recognisably Carruthian.

Carruth’s troubled performance holds the piece together until it loses the thread on its own tenuous mythology, descending into incoherent cacophony.

In the food of silly and cliché possession movies that don't even try to be original this little gem truly shines. You can feel deep inspiration from H.P. Lovecraft work in this movie, the actors do a good job, and the act of "possession" is very well-thought-out and executed. One of the few truly disturbing and scary movies in this genre.

Ένας νοσοκομειακός ψυχίατρος φτάνει στα άκρα όταν ένας φοβισμένος ασθενής που πάσχει από αμνησία επιμένει ότι έχει πεθάνει και ότι κάτι φρικτό τον έφερε πίσω από την άλλη πλευρά.
